>Job site: STC RMC (Rocky Mountain Community) also has a job page at

>manager consistently receives and posts jobs there. It provides a service

>provide for STC members, nonmembers, and local employers or agencies. (We
>only post remote jobs if there is a relocation package.)

>Networking: STC RMC is starting to have a few networking meetings to
>replace regular chapter membership meetings. I will submit this idea to our
>new program manager as an idea to incorporate in these networking meetings.
>Several years ago we had a resume expert speak and that meeting was well
